The PubIlc schooIs In EngIand.

Il was not until 1857 that any pebble
provision for es:ucation xas made in Eng
land. and then the aid Of the State was
extended to elementary education only.
This aid, too is only partial, for the pub

the English and the Irish are very much
superior to our own people. There must
be something wrong in the instruction

30 far as the method of supporting the
schools is concerned, We have nothing to
learn from England but its theory thai
the State should give support % elemen-

sound. 1t Is for the instruction alone
that the taxation for schools can be insti-
fed. In England, where the suffrage Is
now greatly extended, and in this coun-
try, whers il is universal, the well being

is not justifiable to tax the people for

DEBAUCHERs OF CHILDREN

The man Campbell, who was ar
rested for debsuching a young
child, was yesterday indicted by
the Grand Jury. That the man
was detected in his cowardly
and filthy work was due to Mr..
Steinmitz, Clerk of Thaxter's drug
store, and the promptness of .Sher-
if Ullrick and his deputy, Crisler.
There is deep feeling in this city
against the wretches who have for
some time past made licentious
prey of children. A physician in
formed the writer yesterday that he
believed that there were over fifty
children in this city under Is years
of age whose persons had been
violated by men. This is a shock
ing state of affairs to exist any
where, and mo,e especially in a
town so small as Carson city. This
debauching of children has been 60
ing on for some time, and the ex-
istence of this shameless state of
affairs has been frequent topic of
conversation on the streets here for
the past two years.
Some years ago man who was
spotted as an incendiary was taken
beyond the city limits and hung. He
was merely burner of buildings,
but was hung all the same. Yet,
what father is there who would not
rather hear that his house was re-
duced to ashes than that his child
had been debauched. The Appeal
has no desire to prejudice the case
of Campbell, who is in the hands
of the law, bot if nothing less than
lynching will keep rascals from
running children of tender years,
lynching will ceIae with repetitions
of the offence. There are dozens of
men in Carson who follow children
as slueth hounds follow game, and
there are male procurers who work
for indecent masters. Before long
they will find Carson City an I'M
healthy place in which to ply their
uncleanly calling.

PATRONlZE HOME ME
CHANTS.
MER =

The following from the Reveille
is produced, being a common sense
view of the situation, and the
views OF the APPEAL as frequently
expressed in these columns.
Many people here have adopted
the custom of sending away for
their grocery supplies, dry goods,
etc., paying cash down to these
outside firms, while they get credit,
trust and accommodation from the
home merchants, who take chances
In carrying them over. Yet this
faith, which tile merchants hold in
the honesty of their customers, is
often repaid by their sending to
California for their supplies. There
is no business or fairness in such
dealing. What does one gain in
sending away? While he purchases
a few commodities cheaper, in 9TH
ers he about makes a stand off, and
in settling up the freight bill on
his goods he does not in the end
make such a bargain. The price
list is read but the freight bill is
not reckoned in. Another point
which deserves mention, the mer-
chant, in receiving a heavy cargo of
goods and supplies, can get lower
rates than the small shipper which
enables the merchant to quote pop
ular prices.
The person sending abroad for
the necessaries of life is throwing
that amount OF money out of the
community, and from which we ne
yer receive any benifit. If this
custom is general, there would be
no business houses here to-day.
Money spent at home stays there.
and returns to you in other chan
nels. The merchant deserves your
patronage because he helps support
your public schools, county and
other enterprises, and while vol
help him, he in turn is enabled to
invest his money here, that gives
employment to labor. You get nc
returns or help from outside firms
but your goods, then why give them
the profit of your toll, and cripple
the business firms of your town
who pay the greater portion of the
taxes and donates literally for the
support of the unfortunate? Patron
ixe your home merchants, support
the home enterprises, and in the
end you will receive greater favors
1t is by mutual help that citizens
makea town prosperous. The good
